About the Company
Our mission is to help companies spend less time analyzing and more time implementing. We do so through delivering what business teams need from their data- actionable insights, not more dashboard reports. With DataScience, customers plug raw data into proprietary technologies, ask questions to an on-demand team of data experts, and have actionable insights delivered through a collaborative web application. The DataScience solution can be applied to any business team, from marketing to customer support, and can be leveraged across any industry, from e-commerce to CPG.
